If over-ear headphones and earbuds had a baby, it’d probably look like a set of on-ear headphones. On-ear headphones give you the best of both worlds, because they have the benefit of housing speakers large enough to produce hi-fi sound while taking away some of the bulk you see in over-ear headphones.
Though your whole ear won’t be covered, on-ear headphones can still create a good seal for active noise cancellation. And you won’t have to skimp out on sound quality to get headphones with a little less meat on their bones since the ear cups can still fit good-sized speakers that produce great audio full of rich bass and crisp mids. On-ear headphones typically have adjustable headbands to fit all head sizes, plus padded cushions that relieve pressure on the ears, regardless of how expensive or cheap the price.
Whether you’re looking for something cheap to listen to music while you work from home or a high-end pair of noise-canceling headphones for travel, you can find a pair of on-ear headphones to fit your needs. These are our favorites.
